Episode 56: Spotlight: Madison, WI

This week, Doug joins Brian to talk about three major golf developments going on in his hometown of Madison, WI.
First, they discuss the new Pioneer Pointe project; a 13-hole par-3 course featuring template holes done by the same group behind Hawks Landing. Built through a housing development, what caught Brian and Doug off guard was the hefty $4200 a year dues to belong to the club. Given the length of the golf season of WI that seemed awfully steep for a par 3 course.
Next, we delve into the latest TPC project, TPC Madison currently underway. Club owner, and Steve Stricker's father-in-law, Dennis Tiziani is overseeing the project to revamp the old Cherokee Country Club that was fading into marshland and bring it back to glory.
Finally, Doug celebrates the Keiser family's involvement with redoing the 9-hole Glenway Golf Course. The reason for the intrigue with this course is that the plan is to close the course on Sundays to make it available for the public to walk, picnic, and be an accessible public park in a nod to golf courses like the Old Course in Scotland.
